Z-LITE
INTRODUCTION
The Z-LITE Fiber Optic Illuminator provides reliable, uninterrupted
high-intensity light for microscopes. Use the rotary dimmer switch to
control the halogen light source for a continuous range of subdued
or concentrated lighting. The Z-LITE is available in the following
congurations:
• Z-LITE – 115V, 60Hz Fiber optic illuminator, beige
• Z-LITE-Z – 230V, 60Hz Fiber optic illuminator, black
• Z-LITE-186 – Z-LITE with bifurcated light guides
• Z-LITE-Z186 – Z-LITE-Z with bifurcated light guides
Common accessories include a ring light and single or bifurcated exible
light guides to direct the light beam precisely.
The unit is shipped with a lamp that produces a color temperature of
3200°K. Forced air cooling prolongs the lamp life. The EJA bulb can be
used as a replacement lamp. When you open the front panel, a safety
switch automatically shuts o the power.
Unpacking
Upon receipt of this instrument, make a thorough inspection of the
contents and check for possible damage. Missing cartons or obvious
damage to cartons should be noted on the delivery receipt before
signing. Concealed damage should be reported at once to the carrier and
an inspection requested. Please read the section entitled “Claims and
Returns.” Please contact WPI Customer Service if any parts are missing at
941.371.1003 or [email protected].
Returns: Do not return any goods to
WPI without obtaining prior approval
(RMA # required) and instructions
from WPI’s Returns Department.
Goods returned (unauthorized) by
collect freight may be refused. If a
return shipment is necessary, use the
original container, if possible. If the
original container is not available, use
a suitable substitute that is rigid and
of adequate size. Wrap the instrument
in paper or plastic surrounded with at least 100mm (four inches) of shock
absorbing material. For further details, please read the section entitled
“Claims and Returns.”
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Plug the illuminator’s AC power cord into a grounded receptacle.
2. Turn the rotary dimmer knob (large black knob on the front panel) in
a clockwise direction to increase the light intensity. A click indicates
that the power is ON. When you rotate the knob to its extreme clock-
wise position, the light is at its brightest. Rotating the knob counter-
clockwise decreases the intensity of the light and also shuts o the
power.
Using Light Guides
The metal light guide port on the face of the Z-LITE (bottom left) has
an inside diameter of 5/8” to accommodate ber light guides. See
ACCESSORIES. Insert the desired light guide into the connection port and
tighten the knurled light guide knobs to hold the guide rmly.
Replacing the Bulb
1. Shut o the power and remove
the AC power cord from the outlet.
Although the power is automatically
shut o by a safety switch when the
front panel is opened, removing the
AC cord is a precautionary measure.
2. Loosen the knurled case knob on
the top of the case until the front panel opens.
3. The bulb release lever is located on the left side of the bulb. Push this
lever upward. The lever pushes the bulb which slides forward out of
the cradle.
4. Gently pull the socket away from the back of the bulb.
5. To insert a new bulb, push the bulb release lever down into its origi-
nal position. Align the two pins on the lamp with the two holes in the
socket. Firmly press the bulb into the socket until the pins are fully
seated. Then, push the bulb back until its cradle.
6. Close the front panel, re-tighten the knurled case knob, plug the AC
power cord into the power outlet.
Changing the Fuse
This unit is equipped with a fuse. The fuse will blow if a problem occurs. If
this happens, wait until the lamp cools down before attempting to replace
the fuse. If the fuse continues to blow, there is a short and the problem
must be xed by a qualied technician. To change the fuse:
1. Insert a small, at-head screwdriver
into the recess on top of the fuse
housing that is located on the back
of the unit. The fuse casing pops
out.
2. Remove the casing and the fuse.
3. Position a new fuse in the casing and reinstall the casing.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the illuminator will not operate:
1. Check the connections to the lamp. Loosen the
case knob on the top front of the instrument to open the front panel.
Verify that the lamp is properly seated and in full contact with the
lamp holder contact springs. Close the panel and re-tighten the case
knob.
2. Check the fuse. See Changing the Fuse.
